Accidents & Injuries in Rail Yard

Railroad yard accident With 200 ton locomotives constantly moving around a rail yard, accidents in rail yards involve serious, possibly life threatening injuries.  Those traumatic injuries sustained in rail yard accidents may include lacerations, burns, limb injuries, amputations, fractures, spinal injuries and even death.  A qualified FELA lawyer will work diligently and aggressively to pursue full compensation in a complex FELA claim.

In addition to injuries caused by rail yard accidents, an injury in a rail yard might also gradually develop over time because of the repetitive and/or strenuous tasks a railroad worker may be expected to perform. An experienced, proven FELA claim attorney recognizes a FELA claim based on a cumulative injury and will strenuously fight to protect the worker’s right of compensation in these newer and arguably more difficult claims.
